One job, one big pay-off, three essential Mo - the hard-case, the career-criminal, fresh out of prison after a long stretch 'inside'. The mastermind. Tracey - the pretty, vulnerable girl, trapped in a world of drugs and prostitution. Nevil - the handsome, lazy charmer who has tired of the succession of rich and ageing women he has duped into supporting him. Each of them wants a way out and Mo has a scheme that promises the money and freedom they all so desperately desire. "The Operators" is a British Noir classic from the creator of "Z-Cars "and "Softly, Softly."
Interesting book from 1966. Brings the seedy world of 60s London to life for a modern reader. In some ways more of a character study than anything but the three characters are interesting enough to keep you reading. The author, Allan Prior, wrote for many TV shows, including 3 episodes of Blake's 7!
